    An Evening With Some Mallards

    Spent a little time with a pair of Mallards tonight at Lake Ray Hubbard.
    Camera is a Canon Rebel XTi. Lens is a Canon EF 70-300 F5.6 IS with a Kenko 1.5 Tele Converter.
    I’ve been trying to prove to myself that this lens with or without the TC is adequate for this old man. The lens is extremely touchy in Auto Focus. Of 31 pictures these are all I kept.
    I used a mono pod with the IS off.
    Comments welcome – always:

    The Drake never presented a pose that I was ready for! So a little lens analysis if you will?
